You do not have to stray too far to come across your own piece of paradise; find serenity and barefoot luxury at one of the first world-class designed developments in Bimini - illa Bimini Resort & Residences. Designed by Island Developers, a leading Caribbean real estate development firm, globally recognized Oppenheim Architecture + Design and renowned landscape architect Raymond Jungles, the beachfront eco-chic resort is set to break ground August 2019 and feature residential villas and a five-star boutique hotel situated on three private islands, just north of Bimini.

Residents and guests will be able to digitally detox on the secluded beach hideaway set on 40 acres and spanning over 9,000 feet of coastline. The development is a vision of natural beauty with 54 three- and four-bedrooms residential villas and a 49-key boutique hotel. The lifestyle here is all about escaping the relentless pace of daily life, slowing down, disconnecting and focusing on the things that bring the most pleasure: nature, family, quality time and simplicity.

Offering the utmost privacy, illa will allow residents and guests to connect with their inner self on a pristine, totally quiet haven with 60 designer-ready with prices starting at $950,000 and including private residential villas with floor-to-ceiling windows, wooden textures, outdoor decks and terraces with plunge pools. Owners and guests will even be able to park a yacht in their backyard, as the beachfront villas have marina access to fit vessels up to 90-feet long.

Offering experience over opulence, each service and amenity was thoughtfully curated to inspire residents and guests to be present and experience living in the moment, including beachfront pool, garden tennis courts, bar and lounge, restaurant, library, fruit gardens, beachfront tennis pavilion, volleyball and bocce ball courts, children's play area, overwater spa, water sports kiosk, water taxi, and more. The idyllic resort will also offer concierge services to arrange travel arrangements, dining and entertainment reservations and service accommodations, such as private chefs, personal trainers, sommeliers and pet care.

Located just 48 nautical miles off Florida's coast, Bimini is the closest Bahamian island to the United States, accessible by ferry, boat, plane and helicopter. North of the hustle of Bimini's Bailey Town, owners and guests will find a slender ribbon of land that will be home to illa, a place designed in every way for discerning travelers seeking a tranquil, elegant and raw natural beauty. A paradise infused with adventure, the destination is known for its sparkling crystal-clear waters, world-class bone-fishing, fingertip-close access to wild dolphins, colorful coral reefs and modern architecture.
